During this evening, the voices of French-speaking women writers will echo those of Afghan women - activists, teachers, students, writers and artists - whether present or absent, through testimonies, literary works and poems. In this way, they affirm their shared commitment to defending women's rights and freedoms, as well as preserving their artistic and intellectual expression.
